councillors allowances
Tue 15-May-07 10:29 AM

I have a query about Councillors Allowances and in particular expenses which can be ignored (ie not counted as earnings). In the CPAG it states at pg 853 that 'basic allowances may be ignored'.

Does anyone have any further info on this and which basic allowances would be ignored

Thanks

If you've ever been on one of Bob Prew's training courses, he occasionally lets slip that he's the author of the definitive guide to the subject (!) Available here :
